More fun.

Obama commented on it apparently.
And.. if i not mistaken, i think he just called Trump an "carnival barker".

Most conspiracy theorists aren't interested in contrary evidence. Like the old X-Files movie tagline, it really comes down to I WANT to believe (or not believe). Facts don't enter into it.

Honestly, i think the whole birth issue, is veiled or coded racism. If he was a white guy, nobody would question his citizenship.

Trump is a self serving and self promoting. I'm guessing he is bored with 'The Apprentice' and needed to fill the time. He is nothing but a distraction.

I have to add, the top headline at cnn.com, should NOT be "Trump: I have done a great service".

Great, now hes going to short stroke this idiocy. You know.. he's not doing team R any great favors. All he's doing, is making them look even nuttier, and increasing the odds Obama gets reelected, which is precisely what they don't want, but they just can't quite gag the craziest of wingnuts.

I'm inclined to see as this as shameless self-promotion as I can't really see Donald Trump as any sort of serious presidential contender. Once you get him off the friendly talk shows and corner him on some subject he isn't educated on, he quickly gets rather peevish. When you bring up a ripped off creditor or anyone left holding the bag from one of his failed business schemes, he becomes outright hostile.

I don't think its veiled or coded at all. You are 100% right, if he wasn't highly pigmented we would not be having this discussion.

This is all an excuse to get the Team R drones to have something to rally on and not pay attention to the screwed up mess that both parties have created.

This is crap.

It is in no way illigitimate to expect Obama to answer questions about his background and citizenship, especially in regards to a Constitutional requirement. He could have done this in 15 minutes, 2 years ago, but chose to dance around the issue instead. Furthermore, few seem to grasp the reason so many question his citizenship, is the way he talks and behaves. He says he is a Christian, but seems to know less about Christian hollidays and customs than about Muslim hollidays and customs. The only churches he ever attends are those like the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, where anti-American diatribes are frequent. He travels to muslim countries and bows before their leaders. He shows little loyalty to, or concern for the United States. He is very secretive about his background and past associations. His thinking seems to be entirely the product of radical leftist, anti-american education. He has nearly spent the nation into oblivion. So yes, some people are starting to question his fitness for office. U.S. citizens have a right to expect that their President is honest, trustworthy and can faithfully execute the duties of office. This is hardly racism.

Do you think Obama is above question? Is he special?
Do you think that opponents are being mean and unfair?
When Ronald Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter in the 1980 election, the Democrats were very unhappy. Very, very unhappy. Democrats never loose an election, it seems. They decided that they must have lost because of Reagan and Bush conspiring with Iran to hold American hostages until after the election, so Carter would lose. The centerpiece of the conspiricy was that G. Bush had to fly to Paris in an SR-71 and back so nobody would know he left. This "theory", was considered credible by Democrats. I don't mean democrat wing-nuts and nobodies sitting at home by their computers. I mean Democrats in Congress. They actually conducted a formal investigation.


I also seem to remember, just days ago, where some of the lefties were making fun of Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin is a religious fanatic. Sarah Palin handles snakes. Sarah Palin is an idiot. Etc. Etc.
This line of criticism degenerated into pornographic areas. The moderators felt it necessary to cut the posts.

One can trash Sarah Palin all day long, but don't anyone DARE question King Obama.

This is the first I have heard of the birth certificate debacle.
